Summary: A fascinating piece of historical fiction
Review: I have read this book over and over. It simply is breath-taking. Not that anyone is the great perfect hero (least of all Lettice), but all the caracters (major like Elitzabeth and Dudley or minor like Phillip Sidney) are so real and belivable, that you find yourself in the middle of Tuder England...

Summary: One good book
Review: I loved this book. It was absorbing ( I couldn't put it down) and I felt that it was a pretty acurate depiction of the Virgin Queen's life. What better way to learn history than by reading a highly entertaining novel?

Review: I really liked the book. It was the best book that I have ever read. It was nice seeing the Queen Elzabeth in a different point of view.

Summary: Interesting
Review: It was refreshing to see Queen Elizabeth from a different point of view; you always hear her described as "Good Queen Bess". Of course, we are shown through this book that the Queen wasn't as good and sweet as everyone thought she was. Granted, though, she was still brilliant. It was also interesting to see more about the Queen's "favorites". Overall, I would highly reccomend this book.

Summary: gotta-read!
Review: This book is a great incite into the times of elizabeth the first. Written from the perspective of Elizabeths cousin, this was an honest, enlightening and interesting book. It has certainly got me gripped on the British monarchys history. Elizabeth is seen to be a domineering, spoilt person but yet extremely loyal to friends, family and her favourite servants. She is torn between the love of the charming Robert Dudley and her obsession not to have to share her crown.

Summary: FABULOUS!
Review: This book is so good that it should be made into a movie. Lettice Knollys seems like a real person, and I loved seeing Tudor England (and Queen Elizabeth) from a different point of view.

Summary: Excellent book!
Review: This is a captivating novel that follows the life of Elizabeth I from her innocent girlhood to her eventual death as a never-married queen. The story is solidly based on actual events and people, from the book's narrator, Lettice, to the Queen's suitors, Robert Dudley and Robert Devereaux. The story is told from the point of view of Lettice, a cousin of the Queen's on the Boleyn side who is a rival for Robert Dudley's (Earl of Leicester) affections and who eventually becomes his wife. Lettice's son from her first marriage, Robert Devereaux (Earl of Essex), grows up to become himself a favorite of the Queen's, a situation not without complications. With some poetic license, the engaging stories of these characters/historial figures are set against the compelling backdrop of Elizabethean England; a wonderful read.
